Mixed reactions have trailed the sad biography written by the children of a Nigerian man who passed away at the age of 66.

They slammed the deceased for being good to outsiders while neglecting his home.

Some reactions culled below:
Isaac Inwang said: “If it will please God to make me die at old age, may my children not describe me the way this man’s children described him. “May my children celebrate my fatherhood both in my lifetime and upon my death.”
Adebayo Bello said: “This is a message to all big men children who refused to hustle but are putting their mind on inheritance. This is how your father will disappoint many of you.”
Charles Ndubuisi said: “I had the most wonderful father anyone could have wished for but even if reverse was the case I would never have dragged his name and memory in the mud like this.”
Awang Patrick said: “I don’t blame them at all… I know the pains of having an irresponsible father who is a beast at home but an angel to outsiders… I can totally relate to this… Those children no get joy sha but the man wherever he is will be on a serious hold up to heaven.”
